From the Editors:

This year’s edition of Outcroppings featured many vulnerable pieces from students and teachers. You will find pieces in here about self-discovery, self-love, loss and learning. With the common theme appearing to be self-discovery and self-love, we applaud all contributors for their courage and trust to share these works of art with this publication and with our community. These past few years have been immensely difficult for most of us, and it was very moving to read and review the art and writing submitted.

We deliberated carefully over each piece and made our selections with quality as well as meaning and message in mind. Thank you to all who submitted for sharing your raw emotion and creativity with Outcroppings. And thank you for reading!
